If you are interesting in learning the nuts and bolts of Polyface style grazing, then now is your chance. In only a few weeks, Kirk Gadzia, a top Holistic Management instructor (visiting from the USA) and Ben Falloon of Taranaki Farm will be presenting a 2-day HANDS-ON grazing practicum on the farm. Joel Salatin calls it “mob-stocking herbivorous solar conversion lignified carbon sequestration fertilisation!”. Well, at Taranaki Farm, we practice the same ‘salad bar beef’ grazing approach as Joel with daily moves, flexible watering systems, adjustable pasture sizes and an awareness of rest and recovery periods for maximum pasture recovery.

This HANDS ON & PRACTICAL, field focused 2-day workshop that will give you the skills and understanding necessary to get started quickly and successfully

Places are limited and you can book at through Fusion Farms.

This site is about sharing all the happenings around the farm. We’re embarking on an exciting online outreach program with this new website so that we can share with you the wonderful experience of farming and our mission to produce clean, nutritious food for local communities while at the same time regenerating the land and sharing all we learn along the way with you, our valued friends, customers, students, apprentices, interns and general readers!

As many of you already know, our good friend and the original lunatic farmer  Joel Salatin has given us his blessing to develop what we’ve dubbed the Australian Polyface Project here on Taranaki Farm, so if you’re a fan of all things Polyface, then this website will be a good source of practical, applicable information on farming where everything moves! And of course if you’re after very best local beyond organic clean food, then we’re your farm…
